If you haven’t traveled by bus in a while, you’ll find that the reservations system and the buses themselves have changed dramatically:

ONLINE BOOKING: Greyhound.com looks like an airline reservation site, allowing you to search by schedule and route. You can print your bus tickets at home, too.

DYNAMIC PRICING: Fares range from advance purchase (the least expensive, no refunds) to special web-only fares to refundable fares (the most expensive).

TRAVEL EXTRAS: Click on “hotels and packages,” and you can book a hotel room after you make your trip reservations.

LEGROOM: Greyhound eliminated five seats on its new buses to give riders more legroom.

FREQUENT RIDERS: Passengers who sign up for Greyhound’s “Road Rewards” program earn destination points good for free tickets and fare discounts.

DISCOUNTS: Greyhound offers discounts for children, students, seniors, active military and veterans. Also, with the Friends and Family Discount you can save up to 50 percent on two companions when you purchase one full-fare ticket at least three days in advance.

BUS AMENITIES: Free Wi-Fi, electrical outlets at every seat, special latches to secure children in car seats.
